A whole lot of catch-up!

Well, its been about 6 weeks since our last post. This is not going well with the weekly blogs I guess.

When we last left you in Louisiana:

We had a great visit with Frank over some completely terrible donuts at a supposedly area famous donut shop. I can’t belive its been 25 years since I graduated from High School and about 23 since I last saw Frank. It was great catching up!

After breakfast we hitched up the car and hit the road. Totally forgetting it was Spring Break season, we were unable to get a camp site anywhere on Galveston Island for the week, so we ended up just off the island at Bay RV Park [our review]. We spent a week here and then moved onto the island at Galveston Island RV Resort [our review].

From Galveston we traveled to San Antonio to visit Iron Horse RV to have some work done on Bettie. Her step had been not fully retracting and was getting“squishy” so that needed some attention. Turned out the wood had rotted out and so the step had to be re-built. We also had the oil changed and the awning mechanism lubed up (it was not pulling out).

After spending two nights at Iron Horse we were finally on our way to Fredericksburg, TX to meet up with the Xscaper’s group for the Hill Country Convergence. We are spending the month at Quiet Creek RV Resort [our review coming soon]. Two days after arriving our step broke, so back to Iron Horse for some rework…

We had a wonderful time meeting Melanie and Travis Carr, the grandkids of the founders of the Excapees RV Club and the founders if Xscapers. As well as several other couples, singles, and families all working and traveling full time.

We had a nightly happy hour during the event in which we talked about current, past and future travel plans, how everyone is making a living on the road (including full time for another company [like us], working as a consultant, work camping, and semi-retired). We also visited Luckenbach, TX and hiked Enchanted Rock.

With plenty of time to explore, I think we have pretty well done Fredericksburg and surrounding areas. Including:
